Brief Summary

This study assesses the effect of manipulative techniques of thrust and muscle-energy over the sacroiliac joint on plantar foot support, weight distribution in the lower limbs and balance in amateur runners with sacroiliac dysfunction. participants will be randomly assigned to one of 3 manipulations (i.e., intervention): thrust, muscle-energy or placebo.

Conditions

Sacroiliac Disorder

Keywords

osteopathy; baropodometry

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Change in Weight Distribution

  The baropodometry platform will be used to measure the distribution of weight (%) between legs.

  throughout study completion, an average of 1 month

• Center of Gravity Displacement

  The baropodometry platform will measure the distance traveled (mm in x- and y-axis)

  throughout study completion, an average of 1 month

• Center of Pressure Displacement

  The baropodometry platform will measure the distance traveled (mm in x- and y-axis)

  throughout study completion, an average of 1 month

• Change in Plantar support

  The baropodometry platform will measure the distribution of weight (%) across the foot (i.e., forefoot and rearfoot)

  throughout study completion, an average of 1 month

• Foot Plantar Pressure

  The baropodometry platform will measure the points of pressure across the foot with the aid of colorimetry (N/cm2)

  throughout study completion, an average of 1 month

Study Arms (3)

Thrust Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participant will receive the thrust technique manipulation of the affected sacroiliac joint.

Other: Osteopathic manipulation type muscle-energy; Other: Placebo technique

Muscle-energy group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participant will receive the muscle-energy technique manipulation of the affected sacroiliac joint.

Other: Osteopathic manipulation type thrust; Other: Placebo technique

Placebo Group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participant will receive a placebo manipulation of the affected sacroiliac joint.

Other: Osteopathic manipulation type thrust; Other: Osteopathic manipulation type muscle-energy

Interventions

Osteopathic manipulation type thrust OTHER

The osteopathic manipulation type thrust is applied to solve the sacroiliac joint dysfunction. This technique applies a high velocity and intensity push in a specified direction to correct the dysfunction produced by a not correct position or movement of one joint.

Muscle-energy group; Placebo Group

Osteopathic manipulation type muscle-energy OTHER

The muscle-energy manipulation is applied to solve the sacroiliac joint dysfunction. This technique applies a movement with an intermittent resistance in a specified direction to correct the position or movement of one joint. The therapist applies the movement in the correct direction since he feels a limitation of movement. When he feels the limitation he requests to the participant pushing in the contrary direction without movement. After five or seven seconds the participant finishes the contraction and the therapist continues the correct movement since he feels once again the limitation, and he request to the participant contraction another five or seven seconds. The therapist request to the participant only three times, when he finish the three contraction and the therapy applies the last movement to correct direction the intervention finishes.

Placebo Group; Thrust Group

Placebo technique OTHER

The therapist simulates a false technique. The therapist applies movement in the sacroiliac joint without dysfunction, he applies movement since ninety degrees of pelvic flexion, and he wait sixty seconds. Whit this placebo technique the sacroiliac joint with the dysfunction is not altered.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: Participants and the assessor of pre-post-biomechanical measurements will be blinded to which manipulation the participant has been assigned to. The manipulation intervention will be performed by a separate physical therapist who is not involved with the biomechanical measurements.
